The interlocking bricks, which can be repurposed many times over, can withstand similar pressures as their concrete counterparts.

The technique characterizes a material’s electronic properties 85 times faster than conventional methods.

Smaller than a coin, this optical device could enable rapid prototyping on the go.

The advance could help make 3D printing more sustainable, enabling printing with renewable or recyclable materials that are difficult to characterize.

The low-cost hardware outperforms state-of-the-art versions and could someday enable an affordable, in-home device for health monitoring.

The printed solenoids could enable electronics that cost less and are easier to manufacture — on Earth or in space.

Innovative AI system from MIT CSAIL melds simulations and physical testing to forge materials with newfound durability and flexibility for diverse engineering uses.

High-speed experiments can help identify lightweight, protective “metamaterials” for spacecraft, vehicles, helmets, or other objects.

Their new technique can produce furniture-sized aluminum parts in only minutes.

Developed by MIT engineers, the model could be a tool for designers looking to innovate in sneaker design.
